Alaska & Back with Avante

Bill & Susan Grun of Telluride, CO. recently completed a 2200nm summer sailing adventure from Victoria, BC to Juneau, Alaska and back aboard their J/160 Avante. In the process Susan compiled a complete blog of the trip with several beautiful pictures taken along the way....This is year two of their ten year quest to sail to “as much of the world as we are interested in”… upon reaching Tracy Arm (shown here in picture) near Juneau Susan writes:

“I do not have the words or the elegance to describe this place and this day. It was more of everything than any of us expected. The blue skies, the relative warmth, the iceberg fields, the steep chiseled walls, the views, the glaciers --- so very much more.”
